A recently opened fishmonger is hosting its grand opening this weekend.

Dakota Seafood Co.'s event will feature local chefs preparing fresh seafood and free samples that may be new to Sioux Falls palates

“There will be samples all day, from open to close, so if there’s something you’ve never tried like shark or marlin or other wonderful options, please come in and try them," said general manager Travis Petersen, in a news release

The shop is located at The Bridges of 57th retail center, at the intersection of 57th Street and Western Avenue. It's the second location for Dakota Seafood, which was founded in Rapid City in 2015.

Dakota Seafood stocks 14 varieties of fish, and several types of oysters and salmon. It also offers Wagyu beef, elk, caribou, charcuterie and a selection of cheeses, sauces, produce and locally made wine.

“Since we first opened, we’ve added all sorts of things from local fresh produce to more red meat options, even more fish, more variety, and we’ve done a lot of grab-and-go things prepared here for people to take home and eat,” Petersen said.

Grand opening hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Dakota Seafood was founded in Rapid City in 2015. The Sioux Falls store is its second location.
